Recommendations for a foldable/packable raincoat/windbreaker?
you really don’t know how much you need one until you move to the PNW and then it rains all the time and your normal coat doesn’t fold down that tight.
price range: sub-USD $250
region: PNW

LL Bean mountain classic anorak
Columbia are great value for money. I've an older waterproof from them thats survived over a decade of the foul weather of the British Isles
Patagonia Torrentshell for a bit more money is a rock solid choice
I have a Patagonia Torrentshell 3L that I'm very happy with. It packs up into one of the pockets. It's a little stiff and crinkly, but it does a great job keeping the rain off.

I live in SF which has a similar climate and have gotten a lot of use out of my golf pullover, especially when my fit leans more preppy or business casual. I found most options on eBay were better looking than anything I could find new.
